Free code camp
What is freeCodeCamp?
freeCodeCamp is a community of millions of people around the world who are learning to code together. You can learn to code with free online courses, programming projects, and interview preparation for developer jobs. We’re a 501(c)(3) public charity.
How can you help me learn to code?
You’ll learn to code by completing coding challenges and building projects. You’ll also earn verified certifications along the way.
Is freeCodeCamp really free?
Yes. Every aspect of freeCodeCamp is 100% free.
Can freeCodeCamp help me get a job as a software developer?
Yes. Every year, thousands of people who join the freeCodeCamp community get their first software developer job. If you’re curious, you can browse our alumni network on LinkedIn here.
How big is the freeCodeCamp community?
If you add up all the people who use our learning platform, read our publication, watch our YouTube channel, and post on our forum, every month we help millions of people learn about coding and technology.
Is freeCodeCamp a nonprofit?
How can I support the freeCodeCamp community?
There are a ton of ways you can donate to the freeCodeCamp community. We are a very donation-efficient charity, and every dollar you donate will help us provide more than 50 hours of learning to people around the world.
How can I make a one-time donation?
If you’d prefer to make one-time donations, you can support freeCodeCamp’s mission whenever you have cash to spare. You can use this link to donate whatever amount you want through PayPal.
I set up a monthly donation, but I need to update or pause the monthly recurrence. How can I do this?
Just forward one of your monthly donation receipts to donors@freecodecamp.org and tell us what you’d like us to do. We’ll take care of this for you and send you confirmation.
Does freeCodeCamp accept donations in cryptocurrency?
Yes. Please send Quincy a direct message on Twitter and he can send you freeCodeCamp’s wallet information. He can also provide you with a donation receipt if you need one for your taxes.
How long will it take me to finish each of freeCodeCamp’s certifications?
Each certification takes around 300 hours of dedicated learning. Some people may take longer. These certifications are completely self-paced, so take as long as you need.
Is freeCodeCamp a coding bootcamp?
No. A lot of coding bootcamps use freeCodeCamp as part of their curriculum, though.
Is freeCodeCamp a replacement for a 4-year degree?
No. Please don’t drop out of college just to pursue freeCodeCamp. You can pursue both concurrently. Even though you don’t need a 4-year degree to work as a software developer, it still helps a lot.
Should I complete all of the coding challenges in order?
We’ve put a lot of thought into how we introduce concepts. But you’re free to jump around.
Do I have to use CodePen for the front end projects?
As long as your code is publicly viewable somewhere on the internet, and you have a live demo, you can use whatever tools you want.
How did freeCodeCamp get started?
Quincy started the freeCodeCamp community in 2014. He is now just one of thousands of active contributors.
I’m a teacher. Is freeCodeCamp an appropriate resource for my class?
Yes. Many high school, college, and adult ed programs incorporate freeCodeCamp into their coursework. We’re open source, so no license or special permission from us is necessary. We’re even building special tools for teachers.
Can I live-stream myself working on freeCodeCamp challenges and projects? Can I blog about how I solved them?
Yes. We welcome this. Also, don’t be shy about «spoiling» projects or challenges. The solutions to all of these challenges are already all over the internet.
Can I create apps or tools based around the freeCodeCamp community and platform?
Yes. freeCodeCamp is open source (BSD-3 license), and most non-sensitive freeCodeCamp data is publicly available. But you must make it clear that you don’t represent freeCodeCamp itself, and that your project is not officially endorsed by freeCodeCamp.
Does freeCodeCamp have a mobile app?
We are building a fully-featured Android app. In the meantime, you can learn on the go by watching freeCodeCamp’s YouTube channel. And if you want a mobile app designed specifically for learning to code, we recommend Grasshopper. It’s free and designed by a freeCodeCamp contributor and her team. You can download it on iOS or Android.
Can I get a job at freeCodeCamp?
We’re a small donor-supported charity. We’ve hired several prominent contributors from within the freeCodeCamp community, but you’re much more likely to get a job at one of the hundreds of companies where freeCodeCamp alumni work.
Can I invest in freeCodeCamp?
We are a public charity, so technically you already own freeCodeCamp. Nobody can own shares of a public charity, and it cannot be bought or sold. So you’ll continue to own a part of freeCodeCamp whether you like it or not. 😉
This said, we would welcome your donations. The only way you can directly influence freeCodeCamp, though, is to roll up your sleeves and contribute to our project.

freeCodeCamp.org’s open-source codebase and curriculum
freeCodeCamp.org is a friendly community where you can learn to code for free. It is run by a donor-supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit to help millions of busy adults transition into tech. Our community has already helped more than 40,000 people get their first developer job.
Our full-stack web development and machine learning curriculum is completely free and self-paced. We have thousands of interactive coding challenges to help you expand your skills.
freeCodeCamp.org offers several free developer certifications. Each of these certifications involves building 5 required web app projects, along with hundreds of optional coding challenges to help you prepare for those projects. We estimate that each certification will take a beginner programmer around 300 hours to earn.
Each of these 50 projects in the freeCodeCamp.org curriculum has its own agile user stories and automated tests. These help you build up your project incrementally and ensure you’ve fulfilled all the user stories before you submit it.
Once you’ve earned a certification, you will always have it. You will always be able to link to it from your LinkedIn or resume. And when your prospective employers or freelance clients click that link, they’ll see a verified certification specific to you.
freeCodeCamp Certifications
The freeCodeCamp curriculum currently offers eleven certifications.
In early 2022, we launched the redesigned Responsive Web Design certification, and a new Relational Database certification. Both are project-based, and include a lot of repetition as you build practice projects in preparation for the required certification projects.
You can tackle these certifications in any order you want, but we’ve laid them out the way we recommend going through them.
Overview
There are eleven freeCodeCamp certifications:
Each certification should take approximately 300 hours to complete and includes 5 required projects, while the other challenges are optional.
What’s Next
We’re working on a lot of exciting updates and additions to the freeCodeCamp curriculum.
We’re redesigning the JavaScript Algorithms and Data Structures and Front End Development Libraries certifications to follow the project-based approach of the new Responsive Web Design certification.
There’s also the new Data Science curriculum, which will cover advanced mathematics and machine learning.
Associate Android Developer Certification
This is a great way to test your Android skills and get certified by none other than Google. The link to the certification and its details are here.

Common Technical Support Questions – freeCodeCamp FAQ
Question: I just signed into my account and I don’t see any of my past progress.
Answer: You have created a duplicate account. Sign out of your account and sign in using a different email address that you may have used in the past.
Note that even though we have a Google sign in option and a GitHub sign in option, we just use that to access your email address. Your account is ultimately tied to your email addresses.
Question: Why does freeCodeCamp use a sign in code instead of a password?
Sign in codes are much more secure than passwords, and many websites are moving to them. Many websites are following our lead and moving to one time codes or «magic links» as well.
Question: I am getting an error message when trying to login or save my progress.
Question: I set up a monthly donation, but I need to update or pause the monthly recurrence. How can I do this?
Answer: Just forward one of your monthly donation receipts to donors@freecodecamp.org and tell us what you’d like us to do. We’ll take care of this for you and send you confirmation.
Question: When I try to run the code in the /learn code editor, the tests don’t seem to run.
Answer: We recommend you use either Firefox or Chrome. Other browsers may not support the latest JavaScript features that our curriculum requires in order to run. Also, check that you do not have any browser extensions that block JavaScript.
Question: One of my freeCodeCamp challenges freezes and crashes when I open it.
Answer: This is caused by an infinite loop in your code editor. Here’s how to fix this.
Question: How can I delete my freeCodeCamp account? Does this delete all of my data permanently?
Answer: You can delete your account by scrolling to the bottom of the settings page. This is permanent, and will really delete all of your data. We cannot undo this for you if you change your mind.
If you aren’t able to sign into your account for some reason, or you just want us to delete your data for you, send an email to support@freecodecamp.org from the email address that is associated with your account, and we will take care of this for you.
Question: I have a support question that isn’t answered here.
Answer: Ask your support question on this section of the forum. Our nonprofit’s volunteer contributors will our best to help you answer it.

Бизнес-идея №5452. Бесплатная международная школа программирования
Сайт под названием Free Code Camp – продукт уникальный и абсолютно новый. Мы постараемся рассказать о нём подробнее.
Бесплатное образование он-лайн
Вам нравятся разнообразные мобильные приложения? А вы хотите написать своё? Для этого не нужно поступать в вуз на специализированный факультет!
Отправляйтесь-ка вы на сайт Free Code Camp! Это – школа и школа серьёзная. С её дипломом вы сможете устроиться по специальности, которую она вам даст. Причём вы будете работать фри ланс, а ваши заказчики будут находить вас из любой точки земного шара.
Зарегистрировавшись, вы обязательно должны образовать пару. Не как на Доме-2, а для того, чтобы вдвоём осваивать курс программирования. Такова методика преподавания на сайте-школе Free Code Camp.
Далее вы получаете первое задание и начинаете его выполнять вместе.
Простые пошаговые уроки программирования предполагают ряд таких простых заданий. С ними нужно справиться. Дальше будет всё сложнее исложнее и вы сами не заметите, как стали программистом. Программировать вы будете софт, то есть, вы будете веб-дизайнером.
Программа курса обучения в школе Free Code Camp рассчитана на абсолютно неподготовленных непрофессионалов.
Тем не менее, на выходе вы будете знать несколько языков программирования и прочих предметов:
и ещё много других нюансов.
Фишка школы программистов Free Code Camp
После того, как вы пройдёте азы, вам предстоит создать своё портфолио. В портфолио вас как будущего программиста входит обязательно – три проекта, сделанных по заказу некоммерческих благотворительных организаций.
Один из этих проектов – персональный, ваш. Остальные – командные: один – парный, один – ещё более крупный, когда несколько пар объединяются вместе.
Уникальность и новизна школы Free Code Camp заключается вот в чём. Создавая своё выпускное портфолио (или дипломный проект – как это называем мы), студенты бесплатной школы Free Code Camp имеют сразу две выгоды.
Выгода первая – моральная и этическая
Обычно стажировка молодого специалиста проходит в коммерческих фирмах. Представьте, как это обидно – работать забесплатно «на дядю»! Это не просто обидно – это неэтично! Так считают организаторы школы программистов Free Code Camp.
А вот потрудиться в качестве волонтёра на некоммерческую благотворительную организацию – да почему бы и нет?! Помогая делу мира во всём мире, студент будет чувствовать моральное удовлетворение от своей полезной деятельности.
Выгода вторая – утилитарная
Чем отличается наша «защита дипломного проекта» от «ихнего» «портфолио»? Дипломный проект мы сдаём в пыльный архив, потому что он никому не нужен – это унылая квалификационная работа, труд для галочки.
Портфолио – это то, что можно применить на практике, это не «фуфло».
Свой тренинговый центр за 69 000 руб. Можно вести бизнес онлайн!
В стоимость входят комплект материалов для очного проведения всех программ + 2 дня живого обучения онлайн. Бессрочное право проведения 10 программ. Никаких дополнительных отчислений и платежей. Запуск за 2 дня.
Сдавая в конце обучения три работы, студент Free Code Camp знает, что эти три мобильные приложения уже вовсю используют различные благотворительные организации, помогаая всему живому на планете. И это – ваших рук дело. К чему плодить пустую бюрократическую пачкотню? Дело надо делать!
Ещё один утилитарный аспект школы программирования
Ну и что же вы всё-таки будете иметь на выходе? Вы будете иметь портфолио – раз, с которым вашу кандидатуру будут искать и нанимать уже на оплачиваемую работу работодатели – два, и вы будете иметь обширный круг международных знакомств и связей, контактов – три.
Нужно отметить, что всё меньше и меньше выпускников на Западе «мечтают» забесплатно стажироваться у капиталистов. Вообще, капитализм на Западе сейчас не особенно в моде. В моде – волонтёрство и некоммерческие благотворительные проекты с организациями.
Поэтому нам нужно взять на заметку тот факт, что в некоммерческий проект умные выпускники без опыта работы пойдут стажироваться куда охотней и какое-то время станут работать там бесплатно.
Для них это – вопрос чести, вопрос этичности.
Если уж и работать бесплатно какое-то время, то лучше уж на благо человечества, на благо Планеты. А уж никак не на благо супер-пупер-мега-концерна «Ёшкин кот и братва Лимитед»
Если раньше качественные выпускники штурмовали стеклянные двери вот таких вот бизнес-крепостей, то теперь им подавай – некоммерческую благотворительность. Возьмите это себе на заметку.
И ещё один важный вывод по новости о школе Free Code Camp.
На сегодняшний день все международные благотворительные проекты отчаянно нуждаются именно что в программистах! Им нужны люди, которые умеют писать мобильные приложения и создавать прочий софт. Сегодня именно так работают засучив рукава, когда помогают Планете.
На сегодняшний день в школе Free Code Camp уже зарегистрировано 40 тысяч студентов. Организаторы школы бесплатного обучения программированию Free Code Camp хотят донести до максимального количества людей актуальную мысль: программировать может (и теперь уже должен!) научиться каждый ответственный современный человек. И научиться этому – легко!»
Free Code Camp – это по сути дела – ликбез третьего тысячелетия.

11 Best Online Free Coding Bootcamps in 2022
Table of Contents
If you’ve always wanted to learn how to code, you might be glad to know that programming is one of the things you can actually learn for free. You can learn on your own through coding-related websites and resources, via YouTube, or even some free Udemy courses. However, it doesn’t end there! Nowadays, you can join a free coding bootcamp to get you started in the field.
Joining free coding bootcamps is easy. For some of them, all you need to do is sign up with your email address, and you’re in. Others might require you to send in an application and sit down for an interview since the bootcamp was designed for those who are underrepresented within the tech world.
If you want to know more about coding bootcamps, what they’re all about, and how they can help you, you’ll find what you need to know here. This guide will also be listing some of the best free coding bootcamps of the year.
What is a Coding Bootcamp?
A coding bootcamp teaches only the most essential aspects of programming and other technology skills. The skills taught in these programs are matched with real-world projects and industry needs so that you can immediately apply your skills at a professional level.
How Much Can You Make After a Coding Bootcamp?
There is no doubt that you can learn a lot of relevant skills from boot camp. But, more importantly, you will get a much higher salary than you would get without a coding boot camp, because of zero experience.
Bootcamp vs Course: Which is Better?
When we refer to a course, it can be a self-learning course or course from an academy (online or offline). Courses usually provide in-depth knowledge about a programming language or technology. Courses are time-consuming and cover everything that is required to learn the language. If you require to take up a certification or in-depth subject study, a course could be a good option.
On the other hand, bootcamps take you towards your destination faster and in a more organized manner. You can showcase your work and commitment with practical projects that will help you get an edge over others during an interview.
Bootcamps also help you connect with other people and build a network to discuss any problems or obstacles in learning. Sometimes the simplest of errors might not be seen by you, but a team member, peer learner, or a senior can help you identify the same. You can take up more challenges, and solve more complex problems because you know you can have all the needed support.
Bootcamps are also an excellent way for you to grow as a software developer and get more job opportunities as you progress in your career.
How to Choose the Right Free Coding Bootcamp
Your time is a limited yet precious asset that you most likely don’t want to waste, so it’s essential to choose the right free online coding bootcamp for you. The choice comes right down to your personal preference and goals most of the time. However, when you’re faced with the decision of choosing, there are some major factors to consider.

How to Write for freeCodeCamp News
Writing is an important skill for a developer to have.
It’s how you convey your ideas, influence people, advocate for your skills and pay raises, as well as produce comments and documentation to assist others.
“What many people underestimate is that being a good writer,
whether that is through emails or through documents, allows you
to be more impactful. I see many engineers ignore that skill.
You might be proud about your code. You should also be equally proud
of the craft of writing… Writing is a highly underestimated skill
for engineers.” –Urs Hölzle (Google’s first VP of Engineering)
freeCodeCamp can really help develop your writing skills too. They can help give you ideas based on what people are searching for, and they proof-read and edit your writing to make sure everything is explained well. Then they help publish it to a wide, diverse audience.
All this is done by the Editorial team and they’re all really friendly and (most importantly) really useful. As you write more articles, you will learn more about who everyone is and how they can help you.
I’m going to briefly explain how I started writing for freeCodeCamp and my experience with it so far. We’ll also touch on freeCodeCamp‘s publication style guide which you can find here.
Who writes for freeCodeCamp?
There are all sorts of people who write for freeCodeCamp.
Some are professional teachers who run programming courses, some are indie developers, some are still learning programming, others are full-time employed software engineers. and the list goes on.
There are people from all different places in the world who speak many different first languages – lots of voices are represented on freeCodeCamp.
There are no hard prerequisites for becoming a contributor to freeCodeCamp News. They don’t check whether you have a Computer Science degree (in fact, many self-taught programmers write articles on News), submit you to a test, or expect you to finish their entire curriculum before writing.
You just need to have some prior writing experience so you can provide samples of your work when you apply to become a contributor.
But there are some guidelines about the content you contribute (maybe freeCodeCamp isn’t the place for your lasagne recipe).
I’m a full time software engineer. I write to learn more about topics I find interesting.
freeCodeCamp distributes their articles so widely that last month alone (January 2021) people spent 600 hours reading the articles I wrote. That’s pretty cool.
What does freeCodeCamp’s style guide cover?
The style guide is the way freeCodeCamp standardises their expectations and guidelines so that all contributors know how best to research, write, and present their articles. It also helps ensure that what is published is high quality.
The style guide covers topics like article length, composition tips, how to write a good headline, how to choose a cover image, how not to plagiarize others’ work, some rules about cross posting, and a lot more.
I also found it useful to take a Google technical writing course that you can find here. If you don’t want to take the course, you can read my summary of it here if you don’t have the 4 hours to do it all.
This course helped me learn some common helpful tips for technical writing, but it’s not mandatory for freeCodeCamp.
How do freeCodeCamp authors apply?
If you want to apply to become a contributor to freeCodeCamp News, you should first read the style guide. In it, you’ll find the application form.
When you’re filling out the application, you are asked to link to 3 articles you have written in the past.
If you don’t have three samples, or the work you’ve done is private, make an account on dev.to or Hashnode and write some articles. This helps the freeCodeCampEditorial team learn about your writing style, what you like to write about, and whether you’d be a good fit for the publication.
I just want to really emphasise that you should read freeCodeCamp‘s style guide. Read it two or three times and email the team if you aren’t 100% sure about what something means.
If you write those 3 articles following freeCodeCamp‘s style guidelines, you will hugely increase your chances of being approved as a contributor.
But they do also «only approve a small percentage» of contributor applicants, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t make it the first time around.
My best advice to get approved is to try and find what is missing from articles you are currently reading. Are you going to write the articles for total beginners or intermediates? How much detail are you going to put in? Do you have a favourite programming language? How much do you use humour? None, or lots of jokey references? How should readers apply this knowledge?
When I first started writing I got the genre wrong a few times (I wrote satire for one article, and some article ideas I had weren’t great). But through some practice and speaking to the team, I started to improve and understand what freeCodeCamp‘s genre is.
But I can’t write well
So what? The best way to improve is by writing! If you feel like your writing skills are weak, try and set yourself a specific goal – for example to write 50 words a week on any topic. Something achievable for you, and on a topic you will enjoy.
Give yourself 6 months to see if you are making improvements. Reflect on what you don’t like about your writing and try to address it.
My only other advice to improve your writing is to read more. The more I have read, the better my writing has become over time by seeing how others do it.
I don’t know what to write about!
Write about something you want to learn about. You don’t have to be an expert in something to write about it. You develop expertise by writing, discussing, and researching topics you’re passionate about.
You can also ask the Editorial team too if you want some help once you get your contributor account.
What if I’m wrong?
It’s proof read by the team so you aren’t alone. They offer a second pair of eyes, and you are able to make edits post-publishing if you misunderstood something in your research.
It’s a good way to learn, too. When you publish something and you’re wrong, people will direct message you to correct you. I have been messaged about things people thought were unclear. I thanked them and reviewed what they said, which often helped me improve that article.
Don’t feel too scared about failure to try it!
I write too slowly
freeCodeCamp doesn’t have a schedule for you. They don’t email you to chase you about writing an article a week.
You just write as and when you want to, and the Editorial team are there to proof read and help in any way they can when you’re ready. If you only want to publish once a year, go for it!
English is not my first language
This is the case for many freeCodeCamp News contributors. They’re practising English by writing, and contributing to the freeCodeCamp audience.
I hope you feel encouraged rather than intimidated to push your comfort zone boundaries if you have always wanted to try technical writing.
Conclusion
You can apply here to contribute to freeCodeCamp News.
Part of my writing was influenced by a talk Quincy did here about writing technical articles. I would encourage you to watch if you plan to apply to freeCodeCamp in the future. He also gives some fascinating case studies of people who began writing and some benefits that came from it.
I have enormously enjoyed writing for freeCodeCamp and it’s been an incredibly positive experience for me. I would encourage anyone to try their hand at writing.
Even if you don’t end up doing it at freeCodeCamp it’s a skill worth investing time in, and makes you a well rounded developer.
I share my writing on Twitter if you enjoyed this article and want to see more.
Free code camp
Follow these guidelines for setting up freeCodeCamp locally on your system. This is highly recommended if you want to contribute regularly.
Some of these contribution workflows – like fixing bugs in the codebase or curriculum – need you to run freeCodeCamp locally on your computer.
[!TIP] If you are not interested in setting up freeCodeCamp locally, consider using Gitpod, a free online dev environment.
(Starts a ready-to-code dev environment for freeCodeCamp in your browser.)
How to prepare your local machine
Start by installing the prerequisite software for your operating system.
We primarily support development on Linux and Unix-based systems. Our staff and community contributors regularly work with the codebase using tools installed on Ubuntu and macOS.
We also support Windows 10 via WSL2, which you can prepare by reading this guide.
Some community members also develop on Windows 10 natively with Git for Windows (Git Bash), and other tools installed on Windows. We do not have official support for such a setup at this time, we recommend using WSL2 instead.
Prerequisite | Version | Notes |
---|---|---|
Node.js | 16.x | We use the «Active LTS» version, See LTS Schedule. |
npm (comes bundled with Node) | 8.x | We use the version bundled with Node.js Active LTS. |
MongoDB Community Server | 4.2.x | — |
[!ATTENTION] If you have a different version, please install the recommended version. We can only support installation issues for recommended versions. See troubleshooting for details.
If Node.js is already installed on your machine, run the following commands to validate the versions:
[!TIP] We highly recommend updating to the latest stable releases of the software listed above, also known as Long Term Support (LTS) releases.
Once you have the prerequisites installed, you need to prepare your development environment. This is common for many development workflows, and you will only need to do this once.
Follow these steps to get your development environment ready:
Install Git or your favorite Git client, if you haven’t already. Update to the latest version; the version that came bundled with your OS may be outdated.
(Optional but recommended) Set up an SSH Key for GitHub.
Install a code editor of your choice.
We highly recommend using Visual Studio Code or Atom. These are great, free and open source code editors.
Set up linting for your code editor.
You should have ESLint running in your editor, and it will highlight anything that doesn’t conform to freeCodeCamp’s JavaScript Style Guide.
[!TIP] Please do not ignore any linting errors. They are meant to help you and to ensure a clean and simple codebase.
Fork the repository on GitHub
Forking is a step where you get your own copy of freeCodeCamp’s main repository (a.k.a repo) on GitHub.
This is essential, as it allows you to work on your own copy of freeCodeCamp on GitHub, or to download (clone) your repository to work on locally. Later, you will be able to request changes to be pulled into the main repository from your fork via a pull request (PR).
[!TIP] The main repository at https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp is often referred to as the upstream repository.
Your fork at https://github.com/YOUR_USER_NAME/freeCodeCamp is often referred to as the origin repository. YOUR_USER_NAME would be replaced with your GitHub username.
Follow these steps to fork the https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/freeCodeCamp repository:
Click the «Fork» Button in the upper right-hand corner of the interface (More Details Here)
After the repository has been forked, you will be taken to your copy of the freeCodeCamp repository at https://github.com/YOUR_USER_NAME/freeCodeCamp ( YOUR_USER_NAME would be replaced with your GitHub user name.)
How to fork freeCodeCamp on GitHub (screenshot)
Clone your fork from GitHub
[!WARNING] If you are working on a WSL2 Linux Distro, you might get performance and stability issues by running this project in a folder which is shared between Windows and WSL2 (e.g. /mnt/c/Users/ ). Therefore we recommend to clone this repo into a folder which is mainly used by your WSL2 Linux Distro and not directly shared with Windows (e.g.
See this GitHub Issue for further Information about this problem.
Run these commands on your local machine:
Open a Terminal / Command Prompt / Shell in your projects directory
Clone your fork of freeCodeCamp, replacing YOUR_USER_NAME with your GitHub Username
This will download the entire freeCodeCamp repository to your projects directory.
Set up syncing from parent
Now that you have downloaded a copy of your fork, you will need to set up an upstream remote to the parent repository.
As mentioned earlier, the main repository is referred upstream repository. Your fork referred to as the origin repository.
You need a reference from your local clone to the upstream repository in addition to the origin repository. This is so that you can sync changes from the main repository without the requirement of forking and cloning repeatedly.
Change directory to the new freeCodeCamp directory:
Add a remote reference to the main freeCodeCamp repository:
Ensure the configuration looks correct:
The output should look something like below (replacing YOUR_USER_NAME with your GitHub username):
Running freeCodeCamp locally
Now that you have a local copy of freeCodeCamp, you can follow these instructions to run it locally. This will allow you to:
If you do run into issues, first perform a web search for your issue and see if it has already been answered. If you cannot find a solution, please search our GitHub issues page for a solution and report the issue if it has not yet been reported.
And as always, feel free to ask questions on the ‘Contributors’ category on our forum or our chat server.
You can always return to this part of the instructions later. You should only skip this step if you do not need to run the apps on your machine.
Step 1: Set up the environment variable file
macOS/Linux
Windows
Step 2: Install dependencies
This step will install the dependencies required for the application to run:
Step 3: Start MongoDB and seed the database
Before you can run the application locally, you will need to start the MongoDB service.
Start the MongoDB server in a separate terminal:
macOS/Linux
Windows
Make sure to replace 3.6 with the version you have installed
[!TIP] You can avoid having to start MongoDB every time by installing it as a background service. You can learn more about it in their documentation for your OS
Next, let’s seed the database. In this step, we run the below command that fills the MongoDB server with some initial data sets that are required by services. These include a few schemas, among other things.
Step 4: Start the freeCodeCamp client application and API server
You can now start up the API server and the client applications.
This single command will fire up all the services, including the API server and the client applications available for you to work on.
[!NOTE] Once ready, open a web browser and visit http://localhost:8000. If the app loads, sign in. Congratulations – you’re all set! You now have a copy of freeCodeCamp’s entire learning platform running on your local machine.
While you are logged in, if you visit http://localhost:3000/explorer you should see the available APIs.
[!WARNING] Clearing your cookies or running npm run seed:certified-user will log you out, and you will have to sign in again.
Sign in with a local user
Your local setup automatically populates a local user in the database. Clicking the Sign In button will automatically authenticate you into the local application.
However, accessing the user portfolio page is a little tricky. In development, Gatsby takes over serving the client-side pages and hence you will get a 404 page for the user portfolio when working locally.
Simply clicking the «Preview Custom 404 Page» button will forward you to the correct page.
How to sign in when working locally (screenshot)
Making changes locally
You can now make changes to files and commit your changes to your local clone of your fork.
Follow these steps:
Validate that you are on the main branch:
You should get an output like this:
If you are not on main or your working directory is not clean, resolve any outstanding files/commits and checkout main :
Sync the latest changes from the freeCodeCamp upstream main branch to your local main branch:
[!WARNING] If you have any outstanding pull request that you made from the main branch of your fork, you will lose them at the end of this step.
This step will sync the latest changes from the main repository of freeCodeCamp. It is important that you rebase your branch on top of the latest upstream/main as often as possible to avoid conflicts later.
Update your local copy of the freeCodeCamp upstream repository:
Hard reset your main branch with the freeCodeCamp main:
Push your main branch to your origin to have a clean history on your fork on GitHub:
You can validate your current main matches the upstream/main by performing a diff:
The resulting output should be empty.
Create a fresh new branch:
Check that you are on main as explained previously, and branch off from there:
Some examples of good branch names are:
Edit pages and work on code in your favorite text editor.
Once you are happy with the changes you should optionally run freeCodeCamp locally to preview the changes.
Make sure you fix any errors and check the formatting of your changes.
Check and confirm the files you are updating:
This should show a list of unstaged files that you have edited.
Stage the changes and make a commit:
In this step, you should only mark files that you have edited or added yourself. You can perform a reset and resolve files that you did not intend to change if needed.
Or you can add all the unstaged files to the staging area:
Only the files that were moved to the staging area will be added when you make a commit.
Now, you can commit your changes with a short message like so:
We highly recommend making a conventional commit message. This is a good practice that you will see on some of the popular Open Source repositories. As a developer, this encourages you to follow standard practices.
Some examples of conventional commit messages are:
Keep these short, not more than 50 characters. You can always add additional information in the description of the commit message.
This does not take any additional time than an unconventional message like ‘update file’ or ‘add index.md’
You can learn more about why you should use conventional commits here.
If you realize that you need to edit a file or update the commit message after making a commit you can do so after editing the files with:
This will open up a default text editor like nano or vi where you can edit the commit message title and add/edit the description.
Next, you can push your changes to your fork:
Proposing a Pull Request (PR)
After you’ve committed your changes, check here for how to open a Pull Request.
Quick commands reference
A quick reference to the commands that you will need when working locally.
Issues with installing the recommended prerequisites
We regularly develop on the latest or most popular operating systems like macOS 10.15 or later, Ubuntu 18.04 or later, and Windows 10 (with WSL2).
It is recommended to research your specific issue on resources such as Google, Stack Overflow, and Stack Exchange. There is a good chance that someone has faced the same issue and there is already an answer to your specific query.
If you are on a different OS and/or are still running into issues, see getting help.
Please avoid creating GitHub issues for prerequisite issues. They are out of the scope of this project.
Issues with the UI, Fonts, build errors, etc.
If you face issues with the UI, Fonts or see builds errors a cleanup can be useful:
If you continue to face issues with the build, cleaning up the workspace is recommend.
Use git clean in interactive mode:
Issues with API, login, Challenge Submissions, etc.
If you can’t sign in, and instead you see a banner with an error message that it will be reported to freeCodeCamp, please double-check that your local port 3000 is not in use by a different program.
Issues installing dependencies
If you get errors while installing the dependencies, please make sure that you are not in a restricted network or your firewall settings do not prevent you from accessing resources.
The first time setup can take a while depending on your network bandwidth. Be patient, and if you are still stuck we recommend using GitPod instead of an offline setup.
[!NOTE] If you are using Apple Devices with M1 Chip to run the application locally, it is suggested to use Node v14.7 or above. You might run into issues with dependencies like Sharp otherwise.
If you are stuck and need help, feel free to ask questions on the ‘Contributors’ category on our forum or the contributors chat room.
There might be an error in the console of your browser or in Bash / Terminal / Command Line that will help identify the problem. Provide this error message in your problem description so others can more easily identify the issue and help you find a resolution.

Welcome to Free Code Camp’s open source codebase and curriculum!
Free Code Camp is a friendly open-source community where you learn to code and help nonprofits.
We help our campers build job-worthy portfolios of real apps used by real people, while helping nonprofits.
You start by working through our self-paced, browser-based full stack JavaScript curriculum.
By working through our curriculum, you can earn four certifications:
1. Front End Certification
The first section will teach you the basics of how webpages work and also introduce you to JavaScript programming.
To earn this certification, you’ll build 10 front-end projects and implement many JavaScript algorithms.
2. Data Visualization Certification
3. Back End Certification
To earn this certification, you’ll build 5 APIs and 5 full stack apps.
We will accept solutions implemented in any programming language, as long as both a live demo and the source code are publicly accessible.
4. Full Stack Certification
The fourth section is where you’ll get real-world experience by working on projects for nonprofits. We’ll pair you with another camper, an agile project manager, and a stakeholder from a nonprofit organization. Together, you’ll plan, build and maintain apps that help that nonprofit carry out its mission more effectively.
For this certification, you’ll work on two projects from scratch and then maintain/upgrade two existing projects.
This code is running live at FreeCodeCamp.com. We also have Gitter, a Medium publication, and even a Twitch.tv channel.
We would love your help expanding our wiki. Our goal is to become a great resource for people learning to code, building local coding communities, and applying for coding jobs.
Do not file an issue until you have followed these steps:
We welcome pull requests from Free Code Camp campers (our students) and seasoned JavaScript developers alike! Please follow these steps to contribute.

Welcome to Free Code Camp’s open source codebase!
Free Code Camp is an open-source community of busy people who learn to code, then build projects for nonprofits.
Our campers (students) start by working through our free, self-paced, browser-based curriculum. Next, they build several practice projects. Finally, we pair two campers together with a stakeholder from a nonprofit organization, and help them build the solution the nonprofit has requested.
We help our campers build job-worthy portfolios of real apps used by real people, while helping nonprofits.
80% of our campers are over 25, and nearly a fifth of our campers are women.
This code is running live at FreeCodeCamp.com. We also have Gitter, a blog, and even a Twitch.tv channel.
Note: We’re currently very close to moving from Express to Loopback. As such, please keep in mind that the instructions here for setting up and running the project do not directly translate to the staging branch. Additionally, the file structure is quite a bit different. As always, the staging branch is the appropriate place to branch off of to fix/add something.
We would love your help expanding our wiki with more information about learning to code and getting a coding job.

How to use freeCodeCamp on a mobile phone
For 5 years, freeCodeCamp has been helping millions to learn to code for. well. free!
With the 5th birthday of freeCodeCamp comes a wonderful gift to the developer community: the new Command Line Chic interface, which includes a far superior mobile experience than has previously been available.
The new responsive command line chic interface, with a clean mobile text editor
Making the most of mobile coding
This has the added benefit of making they keys you use often for programming (but not natural language) more easily available, such as brackets, braces and other special characters.
Coding keyboards for your mobile device
CodeBoard for Android provides a packed keyboard of all the keys you are likely to need while completing the freeCodeCamp curriculum. The board is a little too crowded on a phone (although I still use it and have gotten used to it), but on a tablet it is a perfect companion.
DevKey for iOs
Coding on the go!
Now that you’ve supercharged your mobile learning environment, you can take those freeCodeCamp lessons with you wherever you go, without the need for a clunky laptop hotspotting off your phone.
One thing that I’m really looking forward to is using the new interface and my mobile set-up to increase my participation on the freeCodeCamp forum! I’ve always primarily engaged with the forum on my phone, but have struggled to help with coding challenges due to the previously poor mobile experience. Now, you can expect to get even more help from me and hopefully others!
Happy birthday, freeCodeCamp, and happy coding, y’all!

Learn to Code RPG – A Visual Novel Video Game Where you Learn Computer Science Concepts
Hi, everybody – Lynn here. It’s my great pleasure to announce the launch of Learn to Code RPG, a project we’ve been developing in secret for the past eight months.
Learn to Code RPG is an interactive visual novel game where you will teach yourself to code, make friends in the tech industry, and pursue your dream of becoming a developer. 🎯
This is a first release and we hope to add more content to it in the future. Future releases will have more characters, scenarios, side quests, art, music, and, yes, minigames. (CS quiz speed run and survival mode, anyone?) We are also planning to localize it into different languages. 🌎 The sky is the limit here. ✈️
You can download it and play it for free on itch.io.
If you’d like to learn more about the game itself, my development process, and so on, read on. This is a very visual devlog (our game is a Visual Novel for a reason) and I’m sure you will enjoy it.
Learn to Code RPG – A game where you role play learning to code
Where It All Started
Let’s start with a bit of background about me.
I’ve always loved story-rich video games since I was little. 🧒🏻
My interest in game development inspired me to major in Computer Science in college. In June 2021, I graduated from the University of Chicago with a joint Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Computer Science.
In July 2021, as I was planning my move to San Francisco to start my career as a software developer, Quincy reached out to me about this game idea.
A game where you learn to code, make friends, explore the tech culture, and eventually break into the tech industry. 🎯
Although I dabble in game development engines like Unity and Ren’Py and have created small passion projects in my own time, this would be my first time building a game from the ground up, on a (mostly) one-person team. That is to say, I was a little overwhelmed by this opportunity to make my game development dream come true. 🤯
Well, you know the saying: If you’re offered a seat on a rocket ship 🚀, don’t ask what seat!
So I said yes and dove right in.
Who am I to turn down an offer from CupcakeCPU? 🧁
From Zero to Hero: How to Build A Game In Four Months
The Story
The story idea was pretty clear from the beginning: The hero/heroine makes the decision to learn to code, conquers obstacles along the journey, meets allies and mentors, and eventually gets to the grand prize – a shiny developer job.
I started with the classic writing framework of The Hero’s Journey, or, the 17-stage monomyth.
(Since I started working on this game, time and again I wish I’d taken at least one creative writing class in college. 😅)
Here’s a glimpse into my outline for the first and the third stage out of the 17 stages, straight from my Google Doc:
1. The Call to Adventure
the first stage of the hero’s journey often presents to the audience the current (and sometimes rather mundane) existence of the protagonist.
Main Character (abbreviated MC) graduates and moves back with her parents. She isn’t really sure what her career is going to look like so she spends her days working gigs and browsing job openings. She has applied to some sales and consulting jobs but they turned her down.
3. Supernatural Aid
in this stage of the journey, the protagonist seeks out a sage-like figure and possibly gains a special item or skill in the process.
Annika, MC’s best friend in college, calls MC one day. Annika is excited because she just got an entry-level web dev role, after spending 6 months to brush up her rusty CS skills (from auditing a few CS classes in college). Annika asks about how MC is doing; is delighted that MC is also considering learning to code; and encourages MC that she can do it if she has the right study method and resources.
Annika introduces MC to the resource she uses.
The Characters
Including the main character which the player controls, we have four major characters in the game:
I started designing the characters by collecting images on Pinterest. Then Quincy and I commissioned an artist online to create the character sprites and splash image.
In the images below, you can see the Pinterest character inspirations (copyright belongs to their original artists) and the final design side-by-side.
Lydia inspiration art + final character card
Annika inspiration art + final character card
Layla inspiration art + final character card
Marco inspiration art + final character card
Now that we have the main cast, what else do we need to add more character depth to Lydia, so that she is not sitting in her room alone all day long grinding code? Maybe she could use a cat in her room? 🐱
And enter Mint, Lydia’s cat. (Art by me as a makeshift artist so that our artist could focus on the characters. Digital art 🎨 is my second biggest hobby after game dev.)
Mint says hi!
The Graphics
With the character graphics done, you may think that concludes the bulk of the graphics. But not so fast! A visual novel is, as its name suggests, visual, and so it needs a lot more graphics to tell an appealing story.
For example, in this image below, besides the character sprites, there is the background image and some GUI components like the textbox.
Basic graphic components: GUI, character sprites, background
To create the background images, I applied special effect filters to stock images to add a watercolor-like texture. This way, the color scheme of our characters blends perfectly into that of the background.
Top: stock image. Bottom: with filters
To illustrate the passage of time in a single day, I changed the lighting of the background images by applying color manipulation programmatically. (Check out our GitHub repo if you are interested in the implementation details!)
Four modes of lightning
For a motivation boost, whenever I feel like procrastinating, I switch my creative gears and doodle miscellaneous items that show up throughout the game. 🤣
And that’s how we got in-game cookies, toast, pizza, fried chicken, and more!
Yummy!
The Code
I used the game engine that I’m most familiar with, the Ren’Py Visual Novel Engine. I reused a lot of code from my old passion projects – for example, blinking character sprites and a rhythm minigame.
Blinking characters 😉
Rhythm Minigame. Can you get a perfect score?
I also incorporated some open-source Ren’Py code like the code for kinetic text tags and the code for feather icon text.
Kinetic text tag, which can be turned off for accessibility
Feather icons are awesome for creating crisp, simplistic GUI
I will refrain from diving into the codebase here (because I won’t know when to stop then 😆). Just know that it’s a lot of code, both for the logic and the GUI. See the Ren’Py Lint report below.
Phew. Can we now move on to something more visual?
The Progress-Tracker
Even a one-person project needs a project manager, so why not be my own project manager?
I used Trello to track my process and collaborate with others. I even color-coded labels for different categories of tasks, like coding, UI/UX, writing, and so on as shown in the image below on the first card in the Backlog column.
And wow, isn’t that a long scroll of tasks done? 😤
My Trello board
Everything in the TODO and Doing column is moved to Done, and that brings us to.
My Takeaway
Hooray! After eight months (four months of the idea brewing, plus four months of intense coding, writing, and art making), we present to you Learn to Code RPG. 🥳
In four in-game months, Lydia has grown from an aspiring engineer into an engineer with a dev job. 🎯
In four real-world months, I’ve grown from an aspiring game developer into a game developer who’s actually built a game. 👾
Naturally here comes the million-dollar question: What’s my takeaway from this entire process?
Well, like any creative process, game development isn’t easy. I’m extremely fortunate to have a team supporting me: our artist Noa who created the character art, Quincy who created the awesome original music tracks, and proofreaders and playtesters from the freeCodeCamp staff.
My GitHub contributions tell apart the days when I code vs. the days when I brainstorm or write or draw 🤪
I’ve grown both in terms of technical skills (by finding creative ways to build things in Ren’Py), non-technical skills (by acting as my own project manager), and more (by managing expectations, overcoming imposter syndrome, and seeking a work-life balance).
Do you know what imposter syndrome is? 👻 You bet I do!
It was by no means an easy ride, but the outcome is worth every second of hard work. More importantly, I look forward to you playing the game and providing feedback so that I can make the game better in future releases.
I hope you enjoy playing Learn to Code RPG as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it! 🙌

My review on freeCodeCamp’s curriculum
Hello DEV Community!
I have just finished every project of the last certificate on freeCodeCamp and got the desired Full Stack Certification. It took me nearly a year to complete every certificate, life got in the way but I finally made it!
As I have finished the whole curriculum, I will tell you what I think of it.
Note: I am not affiliated with freeCodeCamp, I’m just telling you my personal opinion on this platform.
UPDATE: As FreeCodeCamp is releasing a new version of the platform, this review will be useless soon.
What is freeCodeCamp?
In case you were living under a rock or are new around here: freeCodeCamp is a non-profit organization which has an online web platform where you can learn to code by doing small «challenges», each one with a small text explaining a line of code and asking you to implement it on the platform. You run test cases and if you pass them, you are allowed to continue to the next challenge.
The best part of fCC is that you can learn on your own without paying anything, as it is completely free (but you can make donations if you want). It is also open source, and they always need help!
Content
freeCodeCamp’s curriculum offers six certifications which take you around 300 hours each to earn while doing challenges and coding your own projects. If that is not enough for you, you are given an additional certification: «Full Stack», as a reward for completing the previous six.
And that’s not all: you have a last section called «Coding Interview Prep» which offers to teach you algorithms, data structures and gives you more projects to continue practicing!
Look at all that content!
Every certificate finishes with five projects you have to complete by following user stories. If you manage to do them all, you are rewarded with a certification you can print or add to you LinkedIn’s profile!
If you find a challenge too difficult, freeCodeCamp’s offers you a hint or the possibility to ask for help in the forum, which is really convenient!
Certifications
Now I will tell you about every certification in freeCodeCamp and my experience with them.
Responsive Web Design Certification
This is the first and most accessible certification of all and the place to start if you have no experience in programming. Here you will learn HTML5 and CSS3 to the degree of making basic but full responsive web pages.
I had a bit of experience with HTML when I started fCC and as CSS had always been a mystery for me I started here. The platform explains in a very simple way how a tag works and how you can combine them with CSS to make basic web pages. CSS will be your only challenge here, and can take you some time to get the grasp of it, but nothing too difficult.
The projects you have to make are very simple but engaging. I have to admit though, that I found them too simple that I got bored and did the minimum amount of effort just to continue to the next one, but I have friends who enjoyed them a lot:
I really enjoyed the experience of this certificate and would recommend it to anyone starting in web development.
Javascript Algorithms And Data Structures Certification
Did you enjoy the previous certification? Did you have fun? I hope you did, because this certificate has given nightmares to everyone who has tried it.
You start discovering Javascript, how to declare variables, working with conditionals and loops, etc. When suddenly, you are left alone. I don’t remember the exact challenge this happened to me, but I had been thinking for ten minutes and couldn’t think of a single way to do the challenge, so I decided to try the hint. Imagine my surprise when I saw that the hint used a method I had never seen before! I thought that maybe I forgot a previous challenge, but no.
fCC asks you to do things you have not seen before and you will find yourself unable to do them. So, every challenge I was checking the hint and learning from there, which I recommend in this certificate. A lot of people told me that this certificate was easier if you read You Don’t Know JS, which is completely free. I didn’t read it though, but maybe you find it useful.
The difficulty of this certificate makes new developers quit. And if you don’t believe me, you can check on Twitter the amount of people who shared the first certification and never posted anything related to development again.
But hey, it is hard, not impossible. You just have to persevere, read books, search for another resources, ask questions or pair-program. It took me 2 months and I wanted to quit everyday, but believe it was really worth it. The projects are a bit difficult too:
At the end, this certification was so hard to get that I have it as a trophy now. Of course, my knowledge of Javascript continued growing with the following certificates, so I don’t think today these challenges would be a problem.
Front End Libraries Certification
After suffering with Javascript, I was nervous about this one. But what I found was my favorite certification of all.
I was surprised the previous certification didn’t explain how to use JS for Front End, it only teaches you logic (for Backend). But here you learn how to use jQuery and React (at a basic level). It also features Bootstrap, SASS and Redux.
The big problem of this certificate is that you don’t learn anything in depth. fCC only shows you libraries at a very high level. It is your job to choose jQuery or React and learn them somewhere else to be able to do the projects of this certification.
At this point, after suffering in the previous certificate and studying jQuery/React by yourself, you should feel very comfortable looking for answers to your problems on your own.
The projects are really entertaining:
Even with the problems I mentioned, nothing compares to being able to render content on a browser for the first time. I really enjoyed this certificate.
Data Visualization Certification
This one took me too much time to finish. I think it is because I had a lot of work to do at that time and the concepts never entered my head, I was able to finish every challenge but I have just finished the projects on this one.
Here you learn D3.js (a library for graphs) and how to use APIs by XML/HTTP requests (a very important ability for every Frontend developer).
After revisiting this certificate for the fourth time and being helped by others, I think I don’t understand D3. Seriously. I was told that there are more accessible libraries for graphs so I didn’t spend enough time to learn this library knowing that there are more easier alternatives.
Maybe you try it and you find it easy, who knows?
The projects are simple graphs, so I won’t enter into details:
This projects are fairly simple. The complexity of this certificate is understanding D3. At least you get a very important skill: Making API calls.
Apis And Microservices Certification
The fifth certification is a very important one: We stop learning Frontend and start using Node.js for Backend. Sadly, this certificate is very buggy and you will spend a lot of time trying to pass a single challenge because the tests won’t validate.
As i said, you will learn Node here and all it has: Managing packages with NPM, using Express to serve files and your first NoSQL database, MongoDB (in MLAB).
There is too much to learn, I have to admit that the concepts of this certificate where a bit complicated for me and I had to do the challenges several times. But what helped me understand Node was this Flask tutorial. Flask and Node are very similar and I was able to learn concepts with Python that I easily applied with Node, so I suggest you check Flask (Python) first.
The projects on this certificate are all about making APIs:
As soon as you grasp the concepts of making APIs in the first project the others will be very easy to do, so this certificate was fascinating at first but I gradually lost enthusiasm in the projects.
Information Security And Quality Assurance Certification
The last certificate is Backend again, but with a (even more) wide variety of topics. Here you will learn how to secure your site with Helmet.js, about Quality Assurance and Unit Testing with Chai and Mocca, template engines with Pug, authentication, password hashing and sockets.
This last certificate has the same problems as the previous one: It is bugged and there are too many concepts to learn. You will struggle a bit but nothing too serious.
The projects provide a simple Frontend and the basic structure for you to fill in the Backend:
This certificate was a bit tedious to me, as I was impatient to finish it and go back to the projects on the fourth one to finally claim the Full Stack certificate.
Conclusion
freeCodeCamp is a bit bugged and has some errors in the way challenges where designed. This could be seen as a problem, but in reality you are going to work with a lot of bugged programs and will need to figure on your own how to proceed with things, so I see this as a training for a real job. Stuck? You are going to ask someone (write in fCC forums?) for help, you don’t understand what a piece of code does? You sure end up in StackOverflow, and so on.
I recommend freeCodeCamp to anyone who wants to learn how to program, but not alone. I really suggest you go through the challenges with a friend, as the platform encourages pair-programming, so when one has problems the other can help.
Final words
I hope this review was useful for you. What do you think of freeCodeCamp?
freeCodeCamp Review and Guide 2021
Wealth of Material
Clear Teaching Style
No Ads/Paid Content
The tech industry is unique. While many career paths have a clear road map, there are many ways to break into great tech jobs. Options include computer science degrees, coding bootcamps, and self-study. These are all viable methods for entering the tech field, and each has its advantages and disadvantages. Here, we’ll discuss one of the most popular self-study options in our freeCodeCamp review.
freeCodeCamp offers potential students a combination of two of the above methods: a coding bootcamp and self-learning. This unique resource has become increasingly popular. freeCodeCamp members have gone on to work at companies like Google, Spotify, and Apple. As the name implies, this resource is completely free. Let’s see how it stacks up against other learning methods and find out if freeCodeCamp is right for you.
freeCodeCamp Review
freeCodeCamp is a nonprofit organization that is donor-supported. Their goal is to help people learn to code for free. They achieve this through lessons, videos, articles, and study groups around the world.
There are several freeCodeCamp certifications offered in a broad range of studies and with over 1,800 hours worth of material. Over 40,000 people have graduated since 2014. And many have found careers at top tech companies.
freeCodeCamp is stark to the point of almost feeling like an older web page. This disguises some very intelligent design. There are few images or distractions and no advertisements. The layout of every page is deliberately simple. It’s only you, the lesson, and code.
It provides a focused learning experience, showing progress and providing a clear place to start. When taking the lessons, there is no need to return to the main list. Each lesson flows smoothly into the next.
You view the lessons in two or three sizable panes. For example, in HTML lessons, the page displays the teaching material in one pane, the code in another, and the result in a third. While many resources do something similar, freeCodeCamp’s design is easy to use.
Teaching Style on freeCodeCamp
The teaching style is direct, with a clear design, much like a college course. The lessons are as clear as the site’s design. They present new ideas as though you’ve never heard them before with plenty of examples.
One downfall of the lessons is the simplicity. Having simple lessons is great for those just starting in code. And later lessons expand upon the content. Yet, there are often so many ways to use code that the lessons can appear a bit slow.
But this is a problem for most other online coding bootcamps and courses. Generally, the best way to learn to code is by getting hands-on experience coding. And freeCodeCamp does provide some opportunities. There are projects at the end of every lesson. And courses focus on many of the important skills every good programmer should master.
freeCodeCampProgramming Curricula
freeCodeCamp offers six certifications. Each requires about 300 hours of study. There is also a technical interview prep course. All courses consist a series of subsections with a number of lessons. Each lesson teaches a single concept. Then, you complete a short challenge. Each course ends with 5 projects to show what you’ve learned.
You can take the courses in any order. But they are laid out in a clear order. The site teaches students crucial skills for software developers, and the courses focus on web development. They cover the following:
But these free courses and certifications from the freeCodeCamp platform aren’t the only learning resources they offer. On freeCodeCamp’s YouTube channel, you can find free courses and tutorials on a variety of coding topics, including the in-demand programming language, Python.
Is freeCodeCamp Right For You?
This resource is closer to DIY education than coding bootcamps. freeCodeCamp only provides lessons, and while comprehensive, creating a schedule is on you. If you’re an excellent self-learner, able to keep a good schedule, and find joy in programming, this could be a good option for you. Teaching yourself to code is certainly a viable route for breaking into tech careers if you possess these traits.
If none of the above applies to you, a bootcamp might be a better option. Coding bootcamps are known for their strict and intense schedules that push students to learn in a short period. And they often provide high-quality career services. Many people enjoy or require the drive and social experience offered by in-person bootcamps, and the career services they offer are often invaluable.
On the other hand, a computer science degree program will offer more depth than either of the above. Yet, the time and costs can be prohibitive.
The Verdict
freeCodeCamp is an awesome resource for self-learners. It compiles the often scattered information about coding into clear and useful lessons. If you are a self-learner, freeCodeCamp is a great place to start learning. If you’re just looking for a good free primer in web development before a bootcamp, freeCodeCamp might be a good option. With literally zero price to pay and top-notch curricula, it’s hard to argue that freeCodeCamp isn’t one of the best free coding bootcamps available.
freeCodeCamp FAQ
All lessons are free, and the site has no ads. freeCodeCamp is entirely donor-supported.
freeCodeCamp offers six certifications that are 300 hours each, for a total of 1,800 hours of content. This is not including their coding interview prep training course, which has hundreds of coding challenges.
The majority of the courses are web design related, teaching and using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The courses also cover programming basics, data visualizations, and information security.
The courses are self-guided and linear, and each lesson page has an example that also serves as a short quiz. Each course has five projects to let students apply what they’ve learned.

New Free Bootcamps Based on freeCodeCamp – Learn JavaScript & Web Development with Weekly Live Streams
On January 10, Class Central is launching two new bootcamps that are free, remote, and open to all.
You’ll complete freeCodeCamp’s JavaScript or Responsive Web Design certification, with weekly live streams, projects, and a friendly group of learners worldwide.
Free Bootcamp Based on the freeCodeCamp Curriculum
Hi everyone, I’m Jess! I’m a former language teacher. Later, I decided to get into tech. So coding bootcamps drew my attention. They promised to teach me how to program and break into tech in no time. But they were awfully expensive.
So instead, I self-taught my way into the field. But I kept thinking about creating a bootcamp, wondering if I could do it using open educational resources and bringing together my passions for teaching and tech. And three months ago, I put that idea to the test.
I partnered with Class Central to launch a free web development bootcamp based on freeCodeCamp’s curriculum. 8000 learners enrolled! So in January, we’re doing it again. This time, my friend Ramón is joining us as an instructor, so we’ll launch two bootcamps:
In this article, I’ll go over the basics so you’ll know what to expect. Here’s what we’ll cover:
How the Bootcamps Will Work
I get really mad about expensive, exploitative bootcamps. Many make big promises, but offer courses of dubious quality while costing tens of thousands of dollars.
This is what makes freeCodeCamp so special: it offers self-driven learners quality technical education for free.
But learning online can be lonely. So some aspects of paid bootcamps can be valuable to learners — most notably, the shared learning experience: having an instructor and classmates to keep you motivated, accountable, and on track toward your learning goals.
So I started thinking about how to offer the best of both worlds: a learning experience that would be entirely free but retain the best aspects of traditional bootcamps. Fortunately, Class Central had also been working on adding a social layer atop free online courses. So ours was a match made in heaven!
Promptly after, we launched our inaugural webdev bootcamp. And in January, we’re doing it all over again, but bigger and better. The new bootcamps will involve:
The bootcamp will be 6 weeks long, with 10–20 hours of work per week. We’ll start on January 10, and if you’re diligent, by the end of February, you’ll be all done and will have earned one of the certificates above.
What You’ll Learn in Each Bootcamp
The bootcamps will be based on freeCodeCamp’s JavaScript certification and the Responsive Web Design certification.
In the JavaScript bootcamp, you’ll learn:
In the webdev bootcamp, you’ll learn:
Who We Are: Meet Your Instructors
My friend Ramón Huidobro will lead the JavaScript bootcamp. Ramón has worked as a software engineer for over 10 years. More recently, he started consulting in developer relations and became head of Open Source at CodeSee.
He has a strong focus on community, which has led him to speak at numerous conferences and become a Mozilla Tech Speaker. Always joyful to connect and learn from you, so do please reach out!
And I’ll lead the new webdev bootcamp. I’m a self-taught developer obsessed with fostering more equal access to technical education and meaningful work in tech.
I used to work with FutureLearn and Mozilla. Now, when I’m not working in technical outreach, I like to do weird projects like this webdev bootcamp. I always love to hear what you’re learning or working on. Come say hi!
What’s a Typical Study Week
The simplest way of explaining the bootcamp experience is probably to walk you through a typical week:
How to Enroll in the Free Bootcamps
Bootcamp enrollments are open. Remember: the bootcamps are free, remote, and open to all!
Once you enroll, you’re all set. The bootcamps start on January 10. In the meantime, enjoy the end-of-year celebrations, and be ready to hit the ground running in January.

Welcome to Free Code Camp’s open source codebase and curriculum!
Free Code Camp is a friendly open-source community where you learn to code and help nonprofits.
We help our campers build job-worthy portfolios of real apps used by real people, while helping nonprofits.
You start by working through our self-paced, browser-based full stack JavaScript curriculum.
By working through our curriculum, you can earn four certifications:
1. Front End Certification
The first section will teach you the basics of how webpages work and also introduce you to JavaScript programming.
To earn this certification, you’ll build 10 front-end projects and implement many JavaScript algorithms.
2. Data Visualization Certification
3. Back End Certification
To earn this certification, you’ll build 5 APIs and 5 full stack apps.
We will accept solutions implemented in any programming language, as long as both a live demo and the source code are publicly accessible.
4. Full Stack Certification
The fourth section is where you’ll get real-world experience by working on projects for nonprofits. We’ll pair you with another camper, an agile project manager, and a stakeholder from a nonprofit organization. Together, you’ll plan, build and maintain apps that help that nonprofit carry out its mission more effectively.
For this certification, you’ll work on two projects from scratch and then maintain/upgrade two existing projects.
This code is running live at FreeCodeCamp.com. We also have Gitter, a Medium publication, and even a Twitch.tv channel.
We would love your help expanding our wiki. Our goal is to become a great resource for people learning to code, building local coding communities, and applying for coding jobs.
Do not file an issue until you have followed these steps:
We welcome pull requests from Free Code Camp campers (our students) and seasoned JavaScript developers alike! Please follow these steps to contribute.

README.md
Welcome to Free Code Camp’s open source codebase!
Free Code Camp is an open-source community of busy people who learn to code and build projects for nonprofits.
Our campers (students) start by working through our free, self-paced, browser-based curriculum. Next, they build several practice projects. Finally, we pair two campers together with a stakeholder from a nonprofit organization, and help them build the solution the nonprofit has requested.
We help our campers build job-worthy portfolios of real apps used by real people, while helping nonprofits.
80% of our campers are over 25, and nearly a fifth of our campers are women.
This code is running live at FreeCodeCamp.com. We also have Gitter, a blog, and even a Twitch.tv channel.
Note: We’re currently very close to moving from Express to Loopback. As such, please keep in mind that the instructions here for setting up and running the project do not directly translate to the staging branch. Additionally, the file structure is quite a bit different. As always, the staging branch is the appropriate place to branch off of to fix/add something.
We would love your help expanding our wiki. Our goal is to become a great resource for people learning to code, building local coding communities, and applying for coding jobs.
